Can't move multiple bookmarks to different folders in the library

[Nick Russell]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Hardy beta Firefox 3 Beta 4

Steps to reproduce:
1) Have several bookmarks and several bookmark folders
2) Click Book marks and Show all bookmarks
3) In the library window hold down shift or ctrl to select multiple bookmarks (the more you select the worse the problem is)
4)Now try to drag your selection to a folder on the left. You'll find that because the selection is flat orange and not semi-transparent it is very difficult, at times impossible to see where you are dropping your bookmarks.

Workaround:
Move bookmarks one at a time. If you have a lot as I do this can be very time consuming!

I can confirm this... It looks like they might have to come up with another way of moving bookmarks around.

setting to wishlist, since -- right now -- it is working as designed... I expect the maintainers will check on it very soon.

I'm having this same issue in Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 and Firefox 11. Not only can I not move multiple bookmarks/folders at the same time, but doing so locks up the entire desktop for about a minute.
